Scarifying, topdressing and tining the greens

​Scarifying the greens to removes dead plant and animal material known as thatch which causes water retention spongy greens and inconsistencies, following the removal heavy sanding which firms up the green for smoothness speed and consistency.

The purpose of topdressing is to dilute the layer of thatch below the surface of the turf.
This improves drainage and increases the quality of the soil, allowing for better grass growth and improved smoothness and trueness of the surface.

​
​What is hollow tining? A hollow tine is a round tube that penetrates into the ground, collects a core and when the tube penetrates the ground again, the core is pushed out through a hole. This allows greenkeepers to remove material, such as poor quality soil and thatch and allows water and air into the root zone.
